Bass are opportunistic by nature and known for feeding on whatever they can, whenever they can. This includes a struggling rat on the water’s surface. Based upon this principle, the Jerry Rago Alpha Rat provides anglers with a lifelike, single-jointed rat imitation that’s perfect for targeting trophy bass. Handmade in the Jerry Rago factory in Bishop, CA, the Jerry Rago Alpha Rat is built with a close attention-to-detail, including beady rat eyes, etched texturing, and a lively rubber rat tail. At the front, the Jerry Rago Alpha Rat features a precisely placed bill that gives it a lifelike action and a natural swimming motion in the water. Highly effective around ambush points and vegetation, the Jerry Rago Alpha Rat is just what you need to boat extra large bass.
